The film, directed by Alejandro Monteverde and distributed by Angel Studios, is based on a true story of Tim Ballard, a Homeland Security Department agent, who worked to rescue children from sex-trafficking in Columbia.

Jim Caviezel, who plays Ballard, will be in attendance as well.
When he announced the screening, the Trump campaign indicated the former president’s steps to end human trafficking and highlighted Ballard’s support of a border wall.
The screening is set to be attended by Trump’s club members and supporters.
